      1. One thing I didn't get into in my encyclical piece is fact that anti-abortion activism was really driven by laity, not church hierarchy.

      2. As abortion started to be legalized in 1960s, the initial impulse of many Bishops and Cardinals was to make only pro forma protests.

      3. It wasn't church hierarchy but right-wing activists like Bozell who really decided to make abortion the line in the sand issue.

      4. The leadership role played by the laity in anti-choice movement wasn't understood in 1970s & led to tactical mistakes by pro-choice side.

      5. The pro-choice side thought that the main objections to abortion were theological and addressed those too much, ignoring popular appeal

      6. For the great mass of people on the anti-choice side theology less important than deep seated ideas about gender roles & propriety.

      7. There was a lot of submerged political machinations on anti-choice side in 1970s (i.e. Reagan's switch) that wasn't paid attention to

      8. The anti-choice movement in America has been far more successful than most would've guessed in 1970s. Worth asking why.

          @HeerJeet Why? A kind of generational left/right alternating shift as values pass within families on war/morality issues.

          @HeerJeet The history with Evangelicals is also interesting. Anti-abortion went from Catholic intrusion into private lives to litmus test.

          @HeerJeet Abortion rights in US much more ambitious & open-ended than in Europe. Individual rights politics went far beyond mainstream.

          @HeerJeet Have you read Susan Faludi's Backlash? She goes into this somewhat - tracing anti-choice back to the 1890s.
